Can you buy these in any shops? Yes it's for GTA, I ordered both last week but GTA came first and I want to go out and buy one but it looks like you can only buy it online

The obvious place would be Game? Anyone know?

    Any flash drive will do, doesn't have to be an official Microsoft one.

    Incidentally, I just picked up a Kingston SE9 16GB for mine. They're just over a fiver on Amazon at the mo...

    It's a 4gb xbox, not enough space to install/play is there?

    Edit - I didn't mention it was a 4gb xbox in the first post

    Would I have to format it myself to work with xbox? I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to these things, so I just wanted to go out and buy something that would work straight out the box ie what I've ordered but don't want to wait for

    I bought a pair of these last year specifically for the 360 and GTA V:

    I bought that particular one because of this USB stick review by Eurogamer's Digital Foundry:

    Yes, but it's easy.

    Plug it in to the 360, go to Settings > Storage, and then Configure it for 360 use.

    You really do not need to pay for overpriced official USB sticks...
